Drinking and driving a costly proposition in Kansas
The article explains DUI penalties in Kansas with first offenses carrying a $500 fine plus $47 court costs and second offenses $1,000 plus costs. It notes insurance increases can last five years and may shift drivers to nonstandard rates. The new law allows vehicle immobilization for up to a year, applies to first-time offenders, and has not yet seen impoundments in Garden City. Authorities caution judges weigh economic impact, while designated drivers gain traction as a deterrent.
